TELL ME Teaching Europe in Lifelong learning
Tell me is an educational project aimed at underprivileged young adults and seniors, . Young adults and elderly persons
will interview each other about their experiences of childhood and will record their memories digitally, especially about
the history and evolution of the European Union. Their reminiscences will be supplemented with secondary material
that they research themselves, in order to place the memories in their social and historical context. Elderly persons and
young adults from the same countries will work together, but they will also travel ‘virtually’ to participating European
countries and interview elderly persons and young adults abroad about their experiences of childhood (Webcams and
videoconferencing can be used as tools to realise this). This comparative material will be published as part of an online
community, and will also be made into an edited DVD on European childhood from 1950 onwards. Young adults and
elderly persons will also work together to produce a number of self help DVDs where they share life experience and
personal advice on topics such as Europe, living independently, grief and other issues that may be of significance to the
participants. It is expected that these materials will be disseminated to libraries and schools in the participating
countries, and may be used as educational learning materials.
